I haven't been away for a long time, why the other world has become a mess, this is not the same as what I deduced.
Yang Heng thought for a long time but couldn't figure out what went wrong.
And this time to seize the Dragon Court, the sects and factions are too active. We must know that if those anti-kings want to accumulate such a powerful force in a short period of time, they must have strong financial support behind them.
According to the previous rules, these anti-kings should accumulate wealth through small fights, and only then can they gradually grow in strength.
But this time, they have such a large financial resources when they come up, they can gather tens of thousands or even 10,000+ people.
Where did the money for these conveners come from?
And what's more important is that the recruits are only the beginning. If you want to maintain these armies, then money will be spent like running water.
This time, all sects and sects have spent a lot of money. According to their spending, the money they have accumulated may have been spent before the Great Zhou Dynasty was overthrown.
In the end, even if the Great Zhou Dynasty is overthrown, they may lose more than they gain.
After all, there is only one sect that benefits in the end, and the other sects may not be able to recover after this loss in one or two hundred years, so they will not be able to compete for Longting luck for a long time to come.
Just when Yang Heng was thinking, he suddenly had a sense of intimacy, and then he quickly closed his eyes and concentrated, and fell into meditation.
In meditation, Yang Heng's original spirit seemed to have a slight connection with the world and heaven.
But after contacting Tiandao, Yang Heng felt that something was wrong, because this time Yang Heng felt that Tiandao was obviously different from what he felt before.
Because the way of heaven that Yang Heng feels this time is almost exactly the same as the way of heaven that he is connected to on the earth plane, but some small laws have changed, as if to adapt to this world.
Just when Yang Hengwen wanted to continue sensing the changes in the Dao of Heaven, suddenly there was a powerful force of rules rushing towards his face, which directly drove out the trace of Dao of Heaven that Yang Heng felt.
After that, Yang Heng felt the reappearance of the heavenly way in this other world.
But this time, the way of heaven in this other world was running a bit jerky, as if it was being pulled by something and couldn't run perfectly.
If it was just like this, Yang Heng didn't feel afraid, but then he felt infinite darkness falling on him, and these darkness seemed to be constantly weakening Yang Heng's luck.
If it is an ordinary person, I am afraid that within two or three days, his luck will be completely suppressed, and he will die of bad luck in a few days.
However, Yang Heng felt that although his luck was constantly being weakened, it seemed that there was a strange force that was constantly merging into his luck. Within a short period of time, Yang Heng's fortune was integrated into one.
In this way, Yang Heng's luck has not been weakened, but is slowly increasing.
Yang Heng thought for a while, in his guess, this is probably the two heavenly dao are competing for this world, and judging from this situation, it should be that the heavenly dao on the earth plane has gained a certain status, so it can sneak through Chen Cang, Project this power into your body to fight against the oppression of the other world.
No wonder the Heavenly Dao from the other world reacted so strongly to my return this time, and I just felt this infinite bad luck just a little bit.
This should be the way of heaven in another world, because he thinks that he is the chief culprit who lured wolves into the house, so he wants to suppress and destroy himself.
If it wasn't for the secret help of the Heavenly Dao on the earth plane, I'm afraid that as soon as I come back this time, the heavens and the people will be destroyed.
Chapter 527 The Enemy Attacks
Yang Heng woke up from his cultivation and sighed.
Through this practice, he realized how dangerous his current situation is, and one step ahead should be the realm of immortality, and he has already touched the edge.
But if you become a celestial being, you will definitely face a catastrophe.
And now I can be said to be a mouse crossing the street in this foreign world, Dao stared at me tightly that day, if I dared to cross the tribulation by force, Dao Tian would not be polite, and would definitely increase efforts to eliminate this foreign body.
It seems that I can't rush to become a fairy yet, and I have to wait for a while, at least until the day on the earth plane to be on a par with the Heavenly Dao of this other world.
After thinking of this, Yang Heng sighed.
The next day, Yang Heng just got up from the bed and was getting dressed under the costume of the servant girl Pearl, when suddenly the door of Dengtian Temple was knocked loudly.
Yang Heng glanced outside, and then said to the servant girl Pearl, "Go and see what's going on outside, is anyone here to offer incense so early?"
"Okay sir, I'm going now."
While talking, the maid Pearl turned around, left Yang Heng's room, trotted to the door of the Taoist temple, pulled the latch, and gently opened the door of the Taoist temple a crack.
Looking out of her small head, she saw Liu Quan, magistrate of Xiangfu County, leading a few yamen servants around anxiously outside.
Seeing that the door was opened a crack, Liu Quan hurried forward to hold the door of the Taoist temple with one hand, and said, "Don't close the door, don't close the door, I'm Liu Quan."
The servant girl Pearl hurriedly opened all the doors, and then gave Liu Quan a blessing.
"Master, why are you here so early?"
Liu Quan didn't answer her, but asked, "Is the national teacher back?"
Pearl smiled slightly, and then said: "I just returned to the temple yesterday, and you got the news today."
Liu Quan didn't get angry at Pearl's teasing, but he cupped his hands anxiously and said, "Little Fairy, hurry up and let me know that Liu Quan, the county magistrate, has something important to report."
Seeing Liu Quan's anxious look, Pearl knew that the matter was serious, so she didn't dare to delay any longer, and asked Liu Quan and the others to wait at the entrance of the Taoist temple, while he trotted back to Yang Heng's room.
"Outside the master is Liu Quan, the magistrate of Xiangfu County. I think he is very anxious. He wants to see the master, but I don't know if he will see him or not."
Yang Heng nodded helplessly, and asked Pearl to invite Liu Quan to the study to talk.
And he tidied his clothes a little bit, and then walked into the study slowly.
In this study, Liu Quan, the county magistrate, was pacing back and forth anxiously. When he saw Yang Heng walking in steadily, he didn't look anxious at all, so he immediately walked over and grabbed Yang Heng's hand and said, "Okay." My Great National Teacher, your eyebrows are on fire now, why are you not in a hurry?"
"Lord Liu, be safe and don't be impatient, sit down and talk."
After finishing speaking, Yang Heng pushed Liu Quan to a seat, and he himself sat in the main seat.
As soon as they sat down, Erya came in dragging a tray from the outside. After entering, she first gave Liu Quan a blessing, then put the tea in front of Liu Quan and Yang Heng, and then stood beside Yang Heng. I can't get out.
Yang Heng gave Erya a hard look, but Erya is a dead pig now, not afraid of being scalded by boiling water, so she didn't even glance at Yang Heng.
Liu Quan, who was sitting there, didn't have time to look at it now. The two of them were eyeing each other. He put the tea on the table and said anxiously: "Master, you are not in the court for a while, so you may not know it. The world is in chaos now." A pot of porridge, although the imperial army attacked everywhere and extinguished some smoke and dust, there are still some rebels who have become bigger, especially the false king of Song Dynasty in our Kaifeng mansion. Now there are [-] elites under his command. If they are not extinguished, the whole of Henan will be destroyed will become the meat of its mouth."
Yang Heng took a sip of tea, then put the teacup on the table, and asked, "Then what do you think we should do, Mr. Liu?"
"Naturally mobilize a large army to encircle and suppress the puppet king of Song."
Yang Heng closed his eyes and thought for a while, and then said: "You said just now that the imperial army is exhausted from attacking in all directions. Under such circumstances, how can there be any army to deal with the false King of Song you mentioned."
Liu Quan was speechless when asked.
Then there was silence in the study.
After a while, Yang Heng was the first to speak, "Why don't we be quiet for a while, and it won't be too late to deal with him when the court finds time, and I don't believe that he has the ability to shake the sky. "
Liu Quan sighed and could only be like this, but he thought that he must write a letter to the court as soon as possible after returning.
At this time, Yang Heng's big apprentice Shou Ming hurried into the study from the inside and outside. He just glanced at Liu Quan and came to Yang Heng's side, whispering in Yang Heng's ear: "There are eight people outside. Baili urgently wants to see Liu Quan."
Yang Heng was taken aback for a while, and at the same time, he had bad thoughts in his heart, and he was afraid something big would happen.
"Let him in quickly, don't delay the big event."
Shouming nodded and ran out quickly.
Only then did Yang Heng say to Liu Quan who was sitting by the side: "There is an urgent document sent over, and I have asked Shouming to bring him here."
Liu Quan was shocked when he heard that, he is just a small county magistrate, even if there is an express delivery of 800 miles, he can't deliver it to him.
Unless there is some serious event that concerns the fate of Xiangfu County.
While Liu Quan was thinking wildly, Shou Ming walked into the study with a ragged soldier.
As soon as the soldier entered the study room, he took a look and saw Liu Quan sitting beside him. He hurried forward and knelt down on the ground. At the same time, he took out a bamboo tube from behind and held it in front of Liu Quan with both hands.
"My lord, urgent report at [-] li."
Liu Quan took the bamboo tube, checked that the seal on it was still good, then opened it with satisfaction and took out a piece of tissue paper from inside.
Liu Quan was so frightened that he was sweating just by looking at it. Now he didn't care about etiquette. He stood up and came to Yang Heng, and put the tissue paper in his hand on the table.
"Master, take a look."
Yang Heng lowered his head and took a closer look, and his heart began to beat. The false king of Song had assembled an army of 3 and marched towards Xiangfu County.
"How many soldiers are there in Xiangfu County?" Yang Heng asked Liu Quan beside him.
Hearing Yang Heng asked this question, Liu Quan was a little embarrassed, but finally said: "Our Xiangfu County is only a small county, and we can't support so many soldiers, so there are only more than 1000 people in the county. The defeated army can gather a total of 3000 people."
After hearing this, Yang Heng felt a headache for a while. He had an army of [-], and he had [-] old, weak, sick and disabled. How could he fight?
Yang Heng stood up and walked back and forth in the study, and finally turned around and said to Liu Quan: "You pass on the order, all the family members of the rich households in the county will be gathered, and the imperial court will dispatch them uniformly, and also order those rich people to give me Donate rations."
This made Liu Quan stunned for a moment, and then said: "Let them hand over their servants, but let them donate food? I am afraid that these wealthy households and the court will be alienated."
"Hehe, do you think they don't think carefully now?"
Yang Heng sees this point more clearly than Liu Quan, because in the thousands of years of Chinese history, these rich households have never been honest.
Every time they secretly colluded with the rebels and hedged their bets, otherwise, these families would not be able to exist for thousands of years.
"You don't need to say anything, follow my orders and do it quickly. At the same time, you must pay attention to those wealthy households who plan to collude with the rebels. They must not be soft-hearted. When necessary, they will be killed first and then played."
After listening to Yang Heng's words, Liu Quan, the county magistrate, seemed to have found the backbone, and immediately bowed to Yang Heng, and then hurriedly left Dengtian Temple with the soldier.
Immediately after Liu Quan left, Yang Heng ordered Shouming to close the gate of the Temple of Heaven. From today on, the Temple of Heaven will not accept pilgrims.
However, Yang Heng's order was superfluous. Since the turmoil in the imperial court, the common people only cared about their own livelihood, and few people came to offer incense.
……
Besides, on the official road two hundred miles away in Xiangfu County, there are countless people and horses marching forward.
Among them was a yellow puma, and immediately sat a general in a yellow robe.
This general had a leopard's head and eyes around him, and bursts of murderous aura radiated out continuously.
Beside this general, there is a middle-aged Taoist priest.
This Taoist priest looks good, he has three strands of long beard, his face is like a crown jade, and his face is full of red light, he looks like a master of Taoism.
Now the two of them are chatting there.
"Daoist, didn't you always tell me not to touch Xiangfu County? Why did you ask me to take the initiative this time?"
The old Taoist smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and then said: "My lord doesn't know something. We didn't move in Xiangfu County before, but that was the Great Zhou State Master in Jiji Xiangfu County."
"Could it be that now we have a way to deal with this Great Zhou Guoshi?"
The Taoist nodded slightly, and then said: "My uncle has already gone down the mountain and is in our army. When we attack Xiangfu County, if the master of the Great Zhou Dynasty dares to intervene, my uncle will naturally stop him." .”
"Oh, the Taoist master's uncle is here, why didn't I know? Quick, please come and see me."
"My lord, my uncle has always been withdrawn and doesn't want to see outsiders. My lord should be calm and calm. When the two armies face each other and the national teacher comes out, I won't be too late to see you again."
The King of Song just nodded awkwardly after hearing this, not annoyed at all that he was not seen.
But if you think about it, the reason why he is here today is because of the support of this Taoist leader. If there is no support from others, his [-] troops may not even have food, and they will have to mutiny within a few days.
Chapter 528
The King of Song marched forward for another day with 3 horses, and finally arrived at Xiangfu County.After that, he ordered the army to besiege on all sides and block all the passages leading to the outside in Xiangfu County.
Then he brought all the civil and military generals to the city wall of Xiangfu County and looked up.
But seeing this made him frown. It turns out that Xiangfu County is densely populated, and if you count it, there may be no less than 9000 or [-] people defending the city.
If these people are all elite troops, my 3 people may not be able to capture Xiangfu County, even if they capture it, they will suffer heavy losses in the end.
At this critical moment in the struggle for world hegemony, if he folded these 3 people in Xiangfu County, it would be a great disadvantage for him to fight for world hegemony in the future.
But now that the arrow is on the string, it has to be fired. Now around Kaifeng, Xiangfu County is the only city that is not under his control. If he continues to exist like this, one day he will make trouble behind his back one knife.
After thinking of this, King Song said to a general beside him: "After setting up the camp, send more scouts, and be careful that the city comes to attack the camp tonight."
The general hurriedly cupped his hands, and then went down to deliver the order.
When King Song was looking up at the city, the county magistrate Liu Quan followed Yang Heng and looked out at the enemy's camp.
Yang Heng stood at the top of the city and held the rudder with his hand to watch. He only saw people shouting horses outside the city and horses galloping non-stop under the city.From this point of view, these troops are considered elites, and they are no different from the imperial elites that Yang Heng saw when he was besieging the White Lotus Sect.
Looking at the soldiers guarding the city around him, none of them even had full armor, and some of them had already started to tremble in their calves.
How to fight this battle?
Now Liu Quan has also seen the gap in strength between the enemy and us, and he also said to Yang Heng sadly: "Master, what should I do?"
Yang Heng pretended to be calm and smiled slightly, "Soldiers come to block you, water comes to cover you with soil, what's there to be afraid of."
After saying this, Yang Heng deliberately laughed loudly and said: "Don't look at the tens of thousands of troops under the city, I regard them as worthless."
Yang Heng's words were uttered by mana, so his voice quickly spread above the city wall.
